NYT Forced To Issue Correction After Making Egregiously False Claim About Charlie Kirk
Daily Caller ^ | September 12, 2025 | Nicole Silverio Media Reporter

Posted on 09/12/2025 9:18:16 AM PDT by Red Badger

The New York Times issued a correction on Thursday after falsely accusing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk of making an antisemitic claim on his podcast.

The Times falsely accused Kirk of stating on his podcast in 2023 that Jewish communities are “pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites” that they want people to stop using against them. However, Kirk cited a tweet making that claim and critiqued it, causing the Times’ correction to be made.

“An earlier version of this article described incorrectly an antisemitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on an episode of his podcast. He was quoting a statement from a post on social media and went on to critique it. It was not his own statement,” the correction reads.

In actuality, Kirk clarified that not all Jews are pushing hatred onto white people. He stated that certain communities have pushed it by supporting left-wing causes such as Black Lives Matter.

“Now let me just say, this is not a very well-written tweet. It’s very confusing. I’ll go through what they’re basically saying here. Half of this tweet is true, half of it, I don’t like. You want the truth said to your face. There it is. Elon responds, and he says you have said the actual truth … But the first part is absolutely true. Let’s go to this. Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them,” Kirk said.

“Now I don’t like generalizations. Not every Jewish person believes that. But it is true, the Anti-Defamation League was part and parcel with Black Lives Matter. It is true that some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans,” Kirk said.

After his death, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to Kirk as a “lionhearted friend of Israel” who “stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization.”

The entirety of the article appeared critical of Kirk’s conservative views, such as his belief that teachers should not push gender ideology onto children. It also noted that Kirk criticized society’s fixation on race and condemnation of George Floyd, who factually had a lengthy criminal history before his death on May 25, 2020.

The article stated that Kirk “dismissed concerns” about climate change and that he rejected the idea that global warming is an “existential threat.”

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson for the assassination of Kirk on Friday following a large-scale manhunt. President Donald Trump revealed on “Fox & Friends” that someone “very close” to Robinson turned him in

The left has been spewing outright lies about Charlie Kirk’s positions on issues all over social media. When others call them out and ask them to post proof, they run.

Cowardly vermin.

Scott Adams said a profundity the other day: “Democrats have been hypnotized by the media into believing we’re living in Hitler’s Germany.”

Funny how the NYT tries to hide its lies when it get caught. The NYT is so bad I wouldn’t even let a pet canary line the bottom of its bird cage with it. I can remember when the Old Gray Lady was respected. Now, it’s degenerated into a Leftist newsletter.

Its intentional. They print some BS knowing its BS, and knowing nothing will happen and they can just do some retraction alter.

Yeah. Something like “I think people who say Trump is Hitler are wrong” becomes “Man says Trump is Hitler.” The lies are getting more blatant as the reporters are getting more stupid.

You must be a lot older than me, and I'm 75.

I’m confused. Aside from the NYT outright lying about this, how are Jews are not “white”?

I mean, I get that Sephardic Jews are indistinguishable from Arabs, but aren’t Arabs “white”? The one Jewish guy I know (my lawyer, lol) has blue eyes. Kind of swarthy and a mess of curly hair, but definitely a white guy.

Many of the commie trash saying he deserved it quote the original version.

This was the intent of the NYT. Issue a lie, then correct it. But, the goal was to fule hatred and incite TWOT’s to commit violence. This is deliberate.

This is the commie trash in action. Do not forgive.

There’s one Jewish family I know that are Mexican descendants.

Here’s how it happened:

Back in the late 1800’s early 1900’ one of their ancestor emigrated from Europe, I forget which country, and booked passage on a freighter to America.

The initial destination was New Orleans and when the ship docked the customs agents would not let him disembark for some reason.

So he stayed on the ship as it sailed to it’s next destination which was a port in Mexico where he could get off no problem.

After a few years he marries a Mexican woman and they have children and they grow up and have children that emigrate to the US.

So this Jewish family that I know all look like Mexicans!................

So the first instinct of the Times was to do their research by reading BS out of context tweets from leftists and taking them as truth and running with it. Gotta get the “well this was wrong .... BUT ....” angle in there.

They were covering for Stalin back in the 1930s with Walter Duranty. I doubt anyone here predates that enough to recall the slimes from earlier than that.
